Soon the artist and his wife are invited to a haunted castle where the Draculalike Baron von Merkens, who owns the island, presides over assorted evil spirits -a sadist, an effeminate embezzler, and Von Sydow's naked ex-mistress (Ingrid Thulin), who seduces him, then ridicules him before the others...
